G'day Gnarly and welcome to our little Klansite. Like many others, I enjoy your blog; sometimes agreeing with your opinions, sometimes not. I enjoy your technical stuff and it has helped me with a few of my little modifications etc. Love your "Mockpool" name for the non Brit (despite your skeg conversion) in your stable. I am not as convinced as you about skeg boats being the only way to go; If I want to go quick and/or a long way (or sail) I take my Mirage, If I want to "play" I take my Valley Avocet - horses for courses! I hope we meet up (again) one day and go paddle and/or play in the waves.
